Converting rgb array to HBITMAP

[arya]

Hey ,
My problem is that I don't know much about bitmaps,and my English is not good so I am finding info about bitmaps with all that palette ,bits per pixel and all a little confusing.
ok so back to the problem now I have a RGB byte array of pixel data in the format R1G1B1R2G2B2...RnGnBn and I have to convert it to a Bitmap handle (HBITMAP).I google and found a few examples but nothing was fitting for my problem and I was not able to make them work.
Any help ?
A working code would be icing on the cake  :bg
Thanks in advance.

Hi, this should be the easiest way to do it:

Code Select Expand

invoke CreateBitmap, width, height, 1, 24, array

BMP is probably the simplest picture file format
for 24 bit images, the header is 54 bytes long
then it is followed by the bitmap
of course, ms put everything in there backwards - lol
the last line of the image is first in the file
and the color-levels are B, G, R, 0 (each pixel is padded with a 0 byte)
